Well, it sounds like you've made your decision. But I'll comment to say I think you'll be happy with it. We moved our daughter to a toddler bed at about 21 months because we needed her crib for our youngest. We kept him in the pack-n-play for about 4 months and he really needed more room by that time. Our daughter made the transition quite well after two REALLY hard weeks. Several times during those two weeks I was VERY ready to go buy a third crib! LOL. No trouble since then though. My boys are now 19 and 23 months respectively. I really hope to keep them both in their cribs as long as possible. They like their cribs just fine and it seems so much safer and easier.
